Official Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady GGG Golovkin prediction thread.

Canelo by TKO

 

How well advised is Canelo? What sort of people are arround his every day? Is he surrounded by "Yes-Men"? Ego-massaging flunkeys etc? Is it possible that he has been persuaded that he is better than he actually is?

We know team GGG are very solid low-key well-grounded professionals - no hyperbole etc....

Granted GGG is 35 now and has had 350 amateur fights on his clock as well. But even so - what has Canelo done at MIDDLEWEIGHT to convince us that he is ready for GGG?

 

How can someone who failed to stop Trout, the Cotto brothers and some other undersized and unskilled JMW stop someone who's never beet hurt in 450 amateur or professional fights ? Canelo just doesn't pack that kind of power.

 

Can't see Golovkin getting KO'd but can see him losing a decision. Canelo SD.

Golovkin TKO11 Canelo

 

Height. Reach. Distance Control. Footwork. Footspeed. Timing. Power. Jab.

The end.

 

GGG by stoppage.

I like Canelo, but I don't think his fights leading up will do him any favors against a fighter like GGG. I think Canelo will land, but fighting a really 160 pounder with power will be something Canelo isn't ready for.

 

I think GGG outboxes and stops him mid-late. 7-10 range.

 

Interesting how the betting line is fairly close, yet this poll has it 4:1 ggg

 

Maybe those little fellows in Vegas know something we don't. They are generally on the ball.

 

Î can just about guarantee that this fight will end in another highly controversial decision. There will be no ko. These two have arguably the best chins in boxing. I can see a close fight with most thinkīng GGG but the judges going with Alvarez.

 

It's as simple as this, GGG HAS to knock Canelo out, that's his only chance because he won't get the decision, even if he wins all 12 rounds.

 

What does 'using your data while reading' mean?

 

GGG is oozing confidence. He clearly sees/saw Danny Jacobs as the biggest threat. No faer of Canelo at all. Is GGG right? Should he be this confident of beating Canelo?
